Whether you are transporting heavy machinery, sensitive equipment, or bulk goods, understanding the loading capacities and unique features of each Air-tow model will help you choose the right trailer for your requirements.

Air-tow Trailers offer customers a choice between rubber and air suspension systems. Both options excel in ensuring cargo safety and reducing strain on the trailer frame, but they cater to different needs and preferences. Understanding the benefits of each can help you make an informed decision on which to choose.

For over two decades, Air-tow has relied on the durability and performance of rubber suspension systems. These systems utilize floating axles mounted in heavy-duty roller bearings. One of the distinctive features of rubber suspension is its ability to adjust stiffness based on the pressure applied. As more pressure is exerted, the suspension stiffens, effectively handling severe shock loads even at maximum capacity. This characteristic significantly minimizes the force transmitted to the trailer frame and the cargo, ensuring a smoother ride.

Compared to traditional leaf springs, rubber suspension stands out due to its smooth ride quality and lack of wearing components. Air-tow backs its rubber [...]

Air-tow’s commitment to creating a safe work environment is evident in the trailers’ construction. Beyond standard safety components such as a breakaway switch, steel deck, and tie-downs, Air-tow trailers are equipped with additional features that make them safer than the average trailer. Air-tow deliberately designs each model to reduce hazards with unique and enhanced trailer features. Here are five additional safety features that Air-tow Trailers provide as a standard for all models.

Traditional trailers often require ramps for loading and unloading, which can cause potential risk. Ramps pose the danger of equipment slipping or tipping over during loading, leading to possible injuries or damages. Air-tow Trailers eliminate this risk by offering ground-level loading, allowing for safe and easy loading and unloading. Ground-level loading is accomplished by a hydraulic system that enables the bed to be lowered flush to ground level when loading and unloading and raised when towing.
